I was offered a job with 28'000 CZK gross monthly, do you think I will be able to live in Brno with that salary?

>Could anyone please advise what's the minimal convenient salary in Brno for a family of 4 (husband, wife, two small children). For example, will 60K CZK gross be enough? Or will it all be spent on basic needs each month? Some additional information: 1) We'll have to rent an apartment, ideally 3+1 or 3+kk, but at least 2+1, I guess. 2) We don't really go out, so no big expenses there. Thank you in advance!

Oh, and we'll need a kindergarten. I'm not sure if state ones are available, so probably a private one.

Andrej, it's correct, but the bad ratio salary/lifecost is much worst that you said, especially for foreigners

This might help you compare your offered salaries with costs and make the decision:

Average salary in Brno is about 30,000 to 35.000 CZK gross per month (about 25,000 CZK after taxes). But there is one big BUT: please remember that majority of local citizens own their flats or houses because of policy in 1990s that gave away large portion of council flats very cheaply to the tenants. These people can live very decently from such a salary as they do not have to pay no rents not even mortgage.

It is more complicated for rest to live from such a wage, almost impossible if you have to support family.

Single room in shared apartment is 6,000 - 9,000 CZK, 1-bedroom flat is 13,000 - 16,000 CZK per month incl. energy, decent 3-bedroom flat is well above 20,000 CZK, might be even 25,000 CZK incl. energy. You will be expected to pay a deposit of at least 1 monthly rent in advance + fee for property agent (also usually one rent).

Other expenses will be rather low, healthcare is very good and free of additional charges (you and your family have to be insured, it is included in your general taxation), dentists are expensive though, public transportation is extremely good, frequent and cheap, food is standard, city is very safe ...

Now you can calculate on what salary you can live comfortably based on rent prices mentioned above, whether you are single, with partner, or with family and what are your preferences.

If you want to buy, you have to count with 60-70,000 CZK per sq. m for small apartments and 55-60,000 CZK per sq. m for large apartments. Decent 3-bedroom flat sells at least at 4,000,000 CZK in suburbs.

General rule of thumb: For those unlucky not to own a property in Brno, ratio wages/rents is quite bad. Best option is to be a couple without children where both of you are fully employed.

Please also note you will face some language problems, but it is manageable with some patience and good will.

Hi, can I live with 1100 Euro a month?

With 59000 gross czk will be enough for family of 3 with child in school

if I purchase my own apartment, can I live with $1200 USD a month?

Hi everyone,
I have recently get a offer of 50000 per month in berno. With a family of four (2 kids+ 2 adults) is that enough to cover living cost

#Camila Corsini on Aug 15, 2018

A gross salary of 55k czk per month is enough for a single person?

#Helper on Jul 07, 2018
:

Decently yes, but don't count a car, shared flat probably and the less you can imagine, surviving basically...
Yes, usually is 2 months of notice, also for rents, + the current month always, so it can be even 3 at the end.

Hi everyone,

Was offer a job for 30 000 monthly. Doesn't seems to be much, but would it be ok for a single person to leave decently in Brno? Will I find a single room for that price? Also I was told that if I find a better offer after I have to give 2 months notice to my employer, is it really true?

#Hasnaa on Mar 21, 2018

Hello, I got a job offer from a good company in Brno. The salary is 31000 monthly. Is that enough to cover all the living costs (rent, food, transportation...)??
Can I still make some savings from that?

#Larry on Mar 14, 2018

Hi I got an offer of 27000 czk will this be enough to rent a room for a single individual?

#Anonymous on Jan 18, 2018

@Alex, IMHO, with those number you could survive, not live, and only if you live in a shared room. Private rooms are +8000czk. Small apartment are around 15.000czk/month or more (plus electricity and so on). Prices are increasing quickly in this city. I wouldn't come here to live with less than 30.000czk net salary if you plan to live alone, and probably it will be worse in the next years.

If we are a family of two, what net salary I should expect during interview to be sure that we would be able to have a decent standard of life?

#Abdou on Sep 07, 2017

@koudy
Please with a net salary of 40k could be enough for a family of three members? and what is the price of renting an apartment with two rooms ?
thank you.

#koudy on Jul 16, 2017

36k after taxing is a good salary there. Everything above 30k is ok. People in Brno can spend 3-9k for food, it really depends. Stats above are quite correct.

#Anonymous on Jul 03, 2017

@Zola & Elaro
if you got offered 36K gross, that is cca 28000 after taxes.
Rent for a 3+1 or 3+kk alone would cost you 16-20k depending on location.
So that leaves you with cca 10k for life, and no its not nearly enough for a 4 member family to have anything resembling a decent life.

#Zola on Mar 16, 2017

Same situation as #Elaro : net offer about 36K, 2 kids one of them at school.

Would be this ok for an expat please?

#Elaro on Mar 06, 2017

Hello I've received net offer about 36 000. I have 2 kids and my one of them is a schoolboy. Do you think it's enough to manage my family there considering by renting 3+1 or 3+kk apartment?

#Anonymous on Feb 04, 2017
:

@Joseph No. If you are single, i think 40k gross is the bottom limit, more if you have a family (Im assuming ofc you will rent, if you dont pay for the apartment its a different story).
Ofc you can technically survive with 25k, but i wouldnt call that living.

Hi all, I was offered 25.000 czk gross in Brno.
Any comments? Is possible to live healthy in Brno with this amount of money?
Thanks.

#Sotiris Markitanis The high bills on heating is due to winter months. Usually the price for heating is calculated as the average for the entire year, but in winter, you pay more more money, in summer 0.

#Sotiris Markitanis on May 20, 2016

My son is studying at Brno.He is paying monthly utilities (included in the rent) 1700kc which is 200kc for water, 1200kc for heating, 100kc for cleaning garbage collection, 100kc electricity of the common building areas and 100kc various expenses. Also he is paying extra the apartment electricity bills.

I am wondering whether the numbers given above are realistic, because for thee months stay (October, November & December) they need him to pay extra 532kc for water 7261kc for heating, 128kc for garbage collection and 127kc for electricity of the common building areas.

It sounds to me that the consumption are underestimated that correspond to the amounts given above above

perphaps the rent needs to be updated ? looking online at rental agencies , the price provided for a 1 bedroom here is more like a studio apartment price.
